It has been frequently stated that this is but a codification of existing laws. and it is now for the first time said that the President of the United States recommends the passage of this bill. I do not think the President of the United States has done anything of the kind. So far as its being a codification is concerned. this little pamphlet that I hold in my hand contains all the legislation now on the statute books relating to immigration. It does not - require any special codification for any intelligent man to understand what the laws are. but it is a very important matter to a great many interests in this country to understand fully and definitely what changes are proposed to be made by this proposed statute. I for one am unwilling that we should rush blindly through it and adopt amendments that will be troublesome without understanding what they signify.
